Updated: January 1, 2011

Applies To: Forefront Endpoint Protection

The Forefront Endpoint Protection Best Practices Analyzer (BPA) includes checks to scan both Forefront Endpoint Protection (FEP) and Configuration Manager for configuration problems, missing dependencies, incorrect settings, or other issues that could adversely affect the health of your FEP installation.

The FEP BPA checks are based on the Microsoft Baseline Configuration Analyzer (MBCA) version 2.0. In order to run the FEP BPA, you must download and install the MBCA (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=206778).
